Protecting caribou and you
Across the country, CPAWS' chapters are working in their provinces and territories to protect Boreal Woodland caribou. Together, we're asking the federal government to meet its obligation to protect Woodland caribou habitat under the Species at Risk Act. Here's what's happening:
Nationwide
The goals
- Winter 2008 (expected): To meet its obligation under the Species at Risk Act, the federal government issues a map of critical Boreal woodland caribou habitat -- let's make sure they finally do it.
*UPDATE* - CPAWS is still waiting for the release of the scientific critical habitat report for Boreal woodland caribou to be released and continue to talk to the federal government. We anticipate its release sometime this winter. Thanks to your support, we have collected 10,000 signatures on our caribou petition. The feds are listening!
- by Fall 2009: Following a public consultation, the government releases a Woodland caribou recovery plan to protect their remaining Boreal habitat.
You can help -- sign our petition!
